Running £’s

The information on this page scopes the running costs of leading this nomadic lifestyle with emphasis on:

1. The costs of running and maintaining Twernt
2. The costs of site fees
3. Costs associated with the nomadic lifestyle (club fees, camping equipment, maps, etc.)

Not in scope are the costs that remain similar to when leading a ‘bricks and mortar’ existence, e.g.

1. Personal expenditure – clothing, meals out, etc.
2. Weekly groceries
3. ‘Other’ vehicle costs (cars, motorcycles, etc.)
